Event description: Allegra Mira’s poems are lonesome, erotically-charged, fleeting-yet-frozen moments on kitchen floors, in parking garages, about frayed front porches. Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai’s poems and spoke word hits the nexus of genders, cultures, politics, generations. Hosted by Vittoria Repetto - the hardest working guinea butch dyke poet on the Lower East Side - the jam has showcased the famous, the infamous, the unknown for over a decade. http://www.bluestockings.com/
